Default What to start off with to turbochargq

Hey, I have a DOHC ZC motor, and I want to turbocharge it, I was wondering what parts I should get to upgrade my engine so it can handle over 12 psi. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you want to do it right the first time go for some kind of stand alone ecu. If you dont have that kind of dough go for the afc hack with larger injectors and a msd btm. Which really doesnt make sense because once your finished with paying for the AFC/injectors/btm you are over half way to getting a stand alone unit. Take my advice. Get a stand alone unit. They are much safer (not to say the afc hack is bad) and more reliable especially for 12 psi.

There are always a few aem ems's on ebay. I've seen a few go for around 800. You'll just have to keep an eye on them and jump when you see one is going to end cheap. Haltech also makes one that goes for around the same sometimes too. Just gotta keep an eye out for em.
